The Tribune says that Col Grant, the
hepuoiican candidate for Secretary OF
State, ran about 5000 behind the rest of
the Republican ticket i'm New York. The
Democratic plurality on all but Secretary
OF State was about the same AS the Demo-
cratic plurality two years ago. Outside OF
new iork city and few counties where
the liquor sellers corruption fund was SO
freely used, the Republicans made good
gains. The Tribune says that the Demo
cratic lrishmen who voted for Blaine in
1854, and who far outnumbered the Mug
"umps VINO refused tovote for him. have
voted the Democratic State ticket since
that time. Abram 5. Hewitt estimates
that these numbered 10000.

An intelligent gentleman, Il Democrat in
politics, writes a very able paper to the
Tribune, in which he denounres the order
of President Cleveland to Secretary Fair
child to bond the Canadian Pacific railway
under the dead statute of July -, lSS6. as
Ibis most daring contribution to Il con-
spiracy against the growing strength of
the republic" The writer says the Cana
dian Pacitic's exercise of this ..wickedlv
conceded right" is not commerce. but war.
That corporation stubbornlv refuses to
enter into arrangements for fixed rates
with any of our transcontnental lines and
insolentlv declares its purpose to cut
and to follow its cutting downward till it
gets below nothing. Its agents in New
York and Chicago are instructed, instant
" on the publication OF one of our trans
continental tariffs, to publish Canadian
Pacific rates from 10 to Il per cent less.
Our country swarms with the traffic Skin
mishcrs of this hostile corporation from
san Francisco up the coast to the boun-
dairy from Boston to Philadelphia: from
st. Paul down the Mississippi valley
to st. Louis, a commercial line west from
New York to Portland in Oregon. Over
this immense territory it is the constant
experience of our trauScontincntal lines
that after naming "a their rates to ship
pers the lowest they can find published by
the Canadian Pacific, they are not low
enough to secure the business.

Vermont was the first addition to the
family of - States composing the Union
that emerged from the Revolution. The
stormy quarrel over their land titles
which her settlers had with the authori-
ties of New York kept her out of the
Union during the Revolutionary war,
though it did not keep her sons out of the
patriot armies. In 1777 the people of Yer
mont formed a constitution, and proclaim
ed themselves an independent common
wealth, under the name of New Connec-
ticut. British emissaries tried to intrigue
with them against the 10 struggling colo
nies but Vermont was as true to the cause
of liberty then as she has been ever since.
But not until l19l after New York's de-
mands had been settled by the payment of
$4,000, was she finally admitted to the
Union as State. During the first half
of this century the growth of the State
was very rapid but since 1S40 her popula
ton has been almost stationary. But If
her people have not increased in numbers,
they certainly have not diminished in
reputation. If there has been anything
steadfast in this world of change it has
been the political principles of the people
of Vermont A steadfast old wing State
it wheeled easily into the republican line
in the campaign of John G. Fremont, and
has since kept its position without the
shadow of a change. To-day the republi-
can party can muster in Vermont major
ity that is larger than the whole demo
cratic party of the State
Other States have outstripped Vermont
in the race for commercial influence. Her
rugged hills cannot compete with the fer
tile prairles of the West in anything but
the production of men. But through the
answering steadfastness of her people
and the abilities of her statesmen, Yer
mont has eXerted in the national councils
an influence as disproportionate to her
size as that size is disproportionate to the
magnitude of Texas. The centennial
year ought to be observed by grand cele.
bration, and four years is none too long a
time ahead to begin to plan for it.

monument, toward the erection of which

made grant of $4,000 for a monument
$50 feet high. The association, however,
has adopted plans for monument 300 feet
high to cost $4,000 and has SS0, 900 guar
